Take Two: Guess the Clintons are Racist

Hillary Clinton might try and do stuff like this to get in good with Black voters...

But it's a facade.

First off, what exactly did Bill Clinton mean when he called Barack Obama a "fairy tale?" That shit may fly in new Hampshire, but everywhere else it seemed to us like he was saying that a multi-racial Black man has no chance of winning the presidency. If he indeed didn't mean it like that, then why did he feel compelled to call Al Sharpton's radio show and explain himself?

Then there was the "spade work" comment Hillary made. Even worse, her comments on Martin Luther King Jr., which diminished his heroic contributions during the Civil Rights Movement:

“I would point to the fact that Dr. King's dream began to be realized when President Lyndon Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, when he was able to get through Congress something that President Kennedy was hopeful to do, the president before had not even tried, but it took a president to get it done,” she said, in response to a question about how her dismissive attitude toward Obama’s “false hopes” would have applied to the civil rights movement. “That dream became a reality, the power of that dream became real in peoples lives because we had a president who said we are going to do it, and actually got it accomplished.” [CBS]

I mean, trying to act like Obama's words are poetry without action -- even when they're clearly not -- is one thing. Drawing a parallel between Obama and the great Dr. King, and then diminishing King's acts to weaken Obama is just sickening. It's downright un-American.

But wait, there's more.

First, New York attorney general and Clinton supporter Andrew Cuomo said that presidential candidates can't “shuck and jive” in early primary states. WTF? Who do you think that is aimed at?

Then, old Hillary's at again. Apparently, Hillary thought that Hispanics were feeling left out, so she threw an insensitive remark at them while talking about immigration at a Hispanic family's home recently in Nevada (by the way, she's all over the place on immigration... anybody else remember her driver license gaffe in October?):

"We treat these problems as if one is guacamole and one is chips, when ... they both go together," she said. [Jules Crittenden]

Even Fuzzy Zoeller and John Rocker were taken aback by that one, Hill. I think you have "when in Rome" about as messed up as Ron Burgundy.

What's going on in the Clinton camp? Can't they control what the say? Or is what they're saying intentional, a subliminal message to White America? Furthermore, why isn't the media calling them out on this more than they are? Argh, the Clintons have always been media darlings, so I'm not surprised.

It just sucks. I thought America had moved past all this.

Update: It's good that others are finally outraged as well. I love this:

Illinois State Senate President Emil Jones, a prominent Obama supporter, echoed those sentiments.

"It’s very unfortunate that the president would make a statement like that," he said of Bill Clinton's criticism of Obama's experience, adding that the African-American community had "saved his presidency" after the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

"They owe the African-American community — not the reverse," he said. "Maybe Hillary and Bill should get behind Sen. Barack Obama."

Maybe even Dave Chapelle is giving up on the weed-smoking fornicator and his wife after all this. Or maybe Bill will just go kiss a couple more Black babies and everyone will forget about it.
